tivated at the celebrated fruit establishment of Mr. Wilmot. 

 It requires considerable heat, and is very productive. 



9. RED FRONTIGNAC. Mr. Neill 



GRIZZLY FRONTIGNAC. Ib. MOSCAT ROUGE. Bon Jard. 

 The bunches are rather large, long, and moderately 

 compact ; the berries are pretty large, round, of a red color, 

 and of a high vinous and musky flavor. This variety 

 ripens earlier than the White Frontignac, and although 

 not so high-flavored as that variety, it is more esteemed in 

 France than the Violet and Black Muscat. 



10. RED MUSCAT OF ALEXANDRIA. For. Lind. 



RED FRONTIGNAC OF JERUSALEM of Miller. 



It resembles the White, except in regard to color. The 

 bunches are rather large, and shouldered ; the berries 

 rather large, oval, of a red color; the skin is thick; the 

 flesh firm, juicy, saccharine, musky, and high-flavored. 

 Bradley calls this one of the very best of grapes. It is also 

 said to be more esteemed about Paris than the White Mus- 

 cat ; and there, against good walls, it ripens very well. 



11. *WHITE FRONTIGNAC. 



MUSCAT DE FRONTIGNAC, MUSCAT BLANC, Bon Jard. 

 The bunches are very long, conical, compact; the ber- 

 ries the size of the Chasselas ; round, a little elongated ; 

 white, but slightly yellow next the sun ; the pulp white, 

 crackling, of an exquisite sweet and musky flavor. Very 

 productive. Highly esteemed near Boston, where its cul- 

 tivation is principally confined to vineries, as it seldom 

 comes to maturity in out-of-door cultivation.

WHITE MALAGA. Hart. Soc. Cat. 



MUSCAT D'ALEXANDRIA BLANC. Bon Jard. 



PASSE LONGUE MUSI^UE. Ib. 



MUSCAT OF JERUSALEM. Miller. 



PASSE AfusftUEE. Hort. Soc. Cat. 



The bunches are very large, long, irregularly formed ; 

 the berries very scattering, large, oval, of an amber color 

 at maturity ; the skin is thick ; pulp hard, musky, juicy, 

 racy, and high-flavored; the berries have one or two 

 seeds, or none. Highly esteemed by the English ; it is also 

 highly esteemed at Paris ; but they consider their climate 

 too cold for all the Muscats. The Muscats are there 

 placed in the angle formed by two walls, the one facing 

 east, the other south. In the Catalogue of the London
